Saturday 16 July 2011

Choizilla

Drilled new "catapult" technique for snatch. Focus was on engaging the lats to pull the bar back into the pocket before pulling under the bar. Biggest problem was "bumping" the bar with the hips rather than pulling the bar into the pocket and then keeping it close to the body. Need to think about pulling the bar into the pocket, finding the "scare-crow" position, and pulling aggressively under the bar. Drilled up to 35kg.

Dips 3 x 8

GHD sit-ups/back extensions 3 x 12

Dips felt strong. Focused on keeping each rep tight by externally rotating shoulders, keeping elbows close to the body, and maintaining a neutral position. GHD work is much needed to protect core during pulling exercises.
